SH2IFT Project – Final workshop on hydrogen safety

About SH2IFT Project

SH2IFT is a four-year project that has started in April 2018, focusing on research for hydrogen fuel handling and use. The project is coordinated by SINTEF Industry, with partners which include RISE Fire Research in Trondheim, SINTEF Energy Research, NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Institute of Transport Economics, and Christian Michelsen Research/NORCE.

SH2IFT is funded by the Research Council of Norway through the ENERGIX programme (project number 280964) and sponsored by industry partners and authorities, including Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Norwegian Railway Directorate, Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection, County authorities, Akershus, Hordaland, Møre & Romsdal, Trøndelag, Finnmark, Equinor, Shell, NASTA, Statkraft, Ariane, Air Liquide, and Nye Veier.
